Christina Macnamara, LCSW

Christina Macnamara is a Florida LCSW with 29 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting or relationship concerns. She also helps people managing ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.

Christina uses straightforward conversation to help people sort thoughts and decide on next steps. She often points out patterns that keep problems going and shows simple alternatives to try. Sessions focus on practical skills and steps that can be practiced between meetings.

Her approach combines client-centered listening with solution-focused work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice unhelpful thinking and test different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and motivational interviewing are drawn on when helpful for motivation and values-based choices.

People come for help with specific problems such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, body image, or decision-making after loss. Christina also supports those dealing with cancer-related stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and co-morbid mental health issues.

Sessions are organized as a partnership. Goals are set together and progress is reviewed regularly. The focus is on workable changes that fit into daily life and reduce immediate distress.

To begin, she asks people to describe the problem and what they want to change. From there she and the client pick approaches and practical exercises to try between sessions.
